Charitable celebrities donating to Haiti

James Taylor is planning two benefit concerts at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington this weekend to aid earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. The Friday night show sold out in 90 minutes, prompting Taylor to add a Saturday show, whose tickets are still up for grabs.

Proceeds from the concert will go to Partners in Health. The Boston-based group brings modern medical care to poor nations and has been working in Haiti for more than 20 years.
